of_o historical_a narration_n and_o how_o it_o behoove_v to_o excrepte_v and_o digest_v common_a place_n out_o of_o every_o member_n thereof_o i_o suppose_v it_o be_v of_o we_o sufficient_o declare_v now_o reason_n require_v that_o we_o add_v also_o a_o example_n of_o the_o other_o form_n form_n in_o which_o namely_o no_o continual_a narration_n be_v knit_v together_o but_o some_o doctrine_n be_v

and_o certain_a meaning_n or_o doctrine_n of_o that_o part_n or_o parcel_n which_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v declare_v to_o the_o people_n be_v before_o all_o thing_n

john_n baptist_n see_v jesus_n come_n unto_o he_o have_v in_o deed_n a_o very_a brief_n but_o yet_o a_o grave_n and_o and_o high_a sermon_n as_o touch_v christ_n whereof_o he_o himself_o make_v this_o the_o end_n say_v i_o have_v see_v and_o testify_v that_o this_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god._n it_o be_v plain_a therefore_o that_o all_o that_o sermon_n of_o john_n tend_v to_o this_o end_n 1_o that_o he_o may_v declare_v christ_n to_o be_v god_n the_o son_n of_o god._n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n it_o be_v learned_o declare_v that_o christ_n be_v both_o god_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o also_o man_n and_o that_o two_o nature_n do_v consist_v in_o one_o person_n wherefore_o in_o the_o very_a entry_n of_o the_o epistle_n it_o be_v clear_o say_v that_o god_n the_o father_n as_o he_o speak_v in_o time_n paste_v to_o our_o forefather_n which_o believe_v by_o his_o prophet_n so_o in_o these_o late_a day_n he_o have_v speak_v by_o his_o son_n very_o god_n and_o very_a man._n and_o that_o this_o scope_n or_o state_n ought_v always_o first_o to_o be_v find_v out_o before_o it_o be_v pronounce_v as_o touch_v the_o kind_n of_o the_o sermon_n it_o be_v above_o rehearse_v second_o two_o in_o the_o example_n of_o this_o form_n many_o and_o diverse_a argument_n be_v find_v for_o the_o most_o part_n orderly_a dispose_v and_o apply_v to_o confirm_v one_o and_o the_o same_o

that_o in_o examine_v of_o every_o argument_n many_o and_o diverse_a place_n ought_v not_o rash_o to_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o part_n or_o member_n of_o they_o and_o that_o least_o such_o

forth_o such_o inesp●ciallye_o as_o be_v diverse_a and_o some_o what_o different_a from_o the_o state_n itself_o yet_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v expedient_a to_o stand_v overlong_o in_o the_o enarration_n thereof_o for_o it_o will_v be_v very_o absurd_a to_o turn_v away_o the_o oration_n from_o that_o which_o be_v the_o head_n and_o fountain_n of_o the_o business_n these_o thing_n it_o seem_v good_a thus_o brief_o to_o premise_v let_v we_o take_v in_o hand_n therefore_o the_o short_a sermon_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n touch_v our_o lord_n christ_n example_n as_o it_o be_v read_v john_n 1._o john_n see_v jefus_fw-la come_n unto_o he_o and_o say_v behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v he_o of_o who_o i_o say_v after_o i_o come_v a_o man_n which_o go_v before_o i_o for_o he_o be_v before_o i_o and_o i_o know_v he_o not_o but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v declare_v to_o israel_n therefore_o be_o i_o come_v baptise_v with_o water_n and_o john_n bare_a record_n say_v i_o see_v the_o spirit_n descend_v from_o heaven_n like_v unto_o a_o dove_n and_o abode_n upon_o he_o &_o i_o know_v he_o not_o but_o he_o that_o

with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o i_o see_v and_o bare_a record_n that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god._n in_o this_o brief_a sermon_n john_n the_o baptist_n affirm_v and_o prove_v state._n that_o christ_n be_v not_o only_a man_n but_o also_o god_n the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o this_o be_v the_o conclusion_n &_o likewise_o the_o state_n of_o this_o present_a sermon_n whereupon_o every_o man_n may_v easy_o consider_v see_v there_o be_v handle_v here_o a_o doctrine_n as_o touch_v the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n that_o it_o be_v of_o the_o kind_n didascalic_a kind_a the_o argument_n or_o proof_n how_o and_o after_o what_o sort_n they_o be_v distinct_a and_o divide_v we_o will_v eftsoon_o declare_v argument_n and_o here_o we_o say_v again_o that_o our_o faith_n in_o this_o place_n ought_v great_o to_o be_v confirm_v as_o touch_v the_o divine_a nature_n in_o christ_n yea_o and_o the_o example_n also_o of_o john_n baptist_n do_v not_o a_o little_a excite_v we_o to_o make_v confession_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o let_v we_o examine_v every_o part_n and_o member_n by_o itself_o john_n see_v jesus_n come_n unto_o he_o i_o doctrine_n jesus_n come_v to_o john_n as_o well_o that_o by_o his_o presence_n he_o may_v cause_v he_o to_o be_v strong_a courageous_a and_o constant_a in_o the_o office_n of_o teach_v as_o also_o that_o by_o such_o a_o occasion_n the_o people_n may_v more_o full_o be_v teach_v of_o john_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o messiah_n promise_v in_o time_n paste_v to_o the_o father_n and_o that_o the_o same_o also_o be_v both_o true_a god_o and_o true_a man_n by_o who_o mankind_n shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o sin_n and_o everlasting_a damnation_n whereupon_o true_o it_o become_v plain_a and_o evident_a that_o god_o like_a as_o he_o determine_v from_o everlasting_a to_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o the_o intent_n those_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o may_v likewise_o be_v make_v the_o child_n of_o god_o and_o obtain_v salvation_n even_o so_o when_o the_o same_o his_o son_n be_v come_v down_o to_o the_o earth_n he_o ordain_v and_o will_v have_v to_o be_v extant_a certain_a fit_a and_o convenient_a mean_n by_o which_o man_n may_v be_v move_v and_o persuade_v to_o believe_v in_o these_o point_n therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v put_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n unto_o john_n &_o the_o sermon_n of_o john_n that_o follow_v immediate_o of_o christ_n two_o institustion_n hereupon_o we_o learn_v that_o we_o ought_v both_o to_o minister_v unto_o other_o all_o occasion_n of_o promote_v the_o truth_n and_o of_o
